Ellijay

Tucked into the foothills of Georgia’s Blue Ridge Mountains, Ellijay is a place whose character is shaped by the meeting of the Ellijay and Cartecay rivers. Their confluence forms the Coosawattee River, linking the town to a wider north-Georgia watershed of wooded ridges and narrow valleys. Ellijay is closely associated with apple growing: orchards around town supply fruit, cider and seasonal farm markets, while the annual Georgia Apple Festival brings that agricultural identity into the center each autumn. The compact downtown has local shops and restaurants, with the Chattahoochee National Forest and Blue Ridge highlands nearby.
